6. "The Surface Area of a Cylinder" (Version 2.0)
...pond to measure of circumference of one circle. These figures should be used to make a worksheet which can be distributed to each student. Recommended Strategy: Form small groups and measure circumference and diameter of several lids. Divide circumference by diameter for each lid. Discuss constant (pi) that results when circumference is divided by diameter. Use paper circles to show A = pi(r^2). (This procedure is explained in SMILE, 1986.) Calculate areas of figures on worksheet. Cut figures and make a cylinder. Relate areas of plane figures to surface area of resulting cylinder. Use rectangles...

7. Buffon's Needle
...nload a graphical simulation program (Macintosh, binhexed) An interesting extension posed by p. ganguly. Send me an email if you think you have an answer. Introduction Buffon's Needle is one of the oldest problems in the field of geometrical probability. It was first stated in 1777. It involves dropping a needle on a lined sheet of paper and determining the probability of the needle crossing one of the lines on the page. The remarkable result is that the probability is directly related to the value of pi. These pages will present an analytical solution to the problem along with a Java program for...
